Mark your calendars for the second weekend in January. You’ll want to be part of the action as we kick off the return of live, in-person ski racing here in the Midwest. Highlights so far include:

• 30K SISU & 15K Heikki Lunta ski races

• 5K Hauska Hiihto Fun Ski

• Widened start area

• New “Finnish” Line in downtown Ironwood’s new City Square

The SISU race course begins at ABR Trails and ends in downtown Ironwood. Racers can expect well groomed trails that pass through forested landscapes, ups and downs among rocky outcrops, gentle sections along the Montreal River and a former railroad grade, and a few twists and turns through the Miners Memorial Heritage Park. 2022 will feature our new “Finnish” line in the Downtown City Square, Ironwood’s newest park, completed in the Fall of 2021. Racing centers around our signature 30K SISU, along with the 15K Heikki Lunta and the 5K Hauska Hiihto Fun Ski.
